danilov153 Takes Down a Huge Sunday Million
Tuesday, 21 July 2009
Not only did PokerStars smash tournament records yesterday, they also managed to get quite a good showing for the Sunday Million as 8,027 people entered to smash the $1.5m guarantee and generate a first-place prize of $240,810.01.
After what was coming close to ten hours of play, the final table was set. Stacks were huge and stakes were high – here’s how it looked going into the final table:
Dusnumbri - 17,458,843
Daniel “Hanamichi23” Chaulet - 14,888,962
morbo1 - 12,207,184
danilov153 - 10,058,802
aprilsfool - 8,029,460
kartalli - 6,593,735
Lenny _1964 - 5,617,156
cardlo69 - 3,049,834
demistocles - 2,366,024
danilov153 kept his head down for a while – although Lenny_1964, Demistocles and cardlo69 all fell, the eventual winner didn’t have a hand in any eliminations until Dusnumbri got it in with JJ against his AK. Even then, danilov153 split the pot with kartalli.
Mobo1 finished third for over $120,000 after his top pair ran into danilov153’s bottom set. This was a major boon going into heads-up play which lasted just four hands when aprilsfool’s 77 was no good vs QQ.
The payouts and placings are as follows:
1. danilov153 – $240,810.01
2. aprilsfool - $176,594.01
3. morbo1 - $120,405.01
4. kartalli - $80,912.17
5. Dusnumbri - $64,216.01
6. cardlo69 - $48,162.01
7. Daniel “Hanamichi23” Chaulet - $32,108.01
8. demistocles - $18,462.11
9. Lenny _1964 - $12,441.86
